LB Coleman may transfer

Reports surfacing over the Internet this past weekend indicate that Iowa junior linebacker Jacody Coleman may not return to play for the Hawkeyes this fall.

When contacted Sunday afternoon by The Daily Iowan, Coleman refused to comment about what has been reported about his transferring, but he said more details will be released sometime today. As of Sunday evening, Coleman was still listed on the team roster.

Over the weekend, HawkeyeReport.com reported Coleman would leave Iowa and transfer to a school around the Houston area. Coleman is a native of Beaumont, Texas, which is 88 miles from Houston.

Last season, Coleman played in all 13 of the Hawkeyes’ games, and started in Iowa’s first two wins of the 2008 season over Maine and Florida International at middle linebacker. He recorded 28 tackles during the 2008 campaign, seven of which were solo tackles, and two sacks. Coleman was also one of three sophomores on the team’s Leadership Group last year.
